During testing of TFS #97965 in the 7.095 release, some additional enhancements to the CLU Acreage Report Crop Summary's Total Acres to assist the grower with seeing how the acres were reported were identified.

NOTE: This form is not intended to be used for Annual Forage, Pasture, Rangeland, Forage (PRF), Apiculture (API), Category C Crops, Perennial Crops, Plan Code MP (16) associated with a YP or RP coverage, Plan Code MP-HPO (17) associated with a YP or RP coverage, Plan Code STAX-RP (35) associated with a YP or RP coverage, Plan Code STAX-RPHPE (36) associated with a YP or RP coverage, Nursery, or WFRP.

For the 2018+ RYs, the AR CLU form has been updated in the following ways:

• The title of the field was updated to "Total Acres".
• The version date was updated to "04-2019".
• Rules for Total Acres:
• IF a pre-filled report style has been selected, AND the Total Acres (Insurable) for the coverage are greater than zero, THEN the Total Acres (insurable) for the coverage will print in the Total Acres field. ELSE IF an AR Sign Date has been entered for the coverage, THEN "0.0" will print in the Total Acres field. OTHERWISE Total Acres field will be blank. If there are uninsured acres for the coverage, "UI = " will print followed by the total uninsured acres for parent lines in parentheses below the Total Acres insurable acres. Uninsurable acres to be included in the Total Acres field for the coverage are as follows:
• Parent line uninsurable acres for the coverage.
• Child line insurable acres for the coverage.
• If there is only one child line and the uninsurable acres match the parent line uninsurable acres, the child line acres WILL NOT be included.
• If there are multiple child lines and one or more are uninsurable and if the uninsurable acres match the parent line uninsurable acres, the child line acres WILL NOT be included.
• If there are multiple child lines and one or more are uninsurable and if the parent line is insurable acres, the child line acres WILL be included.
• WHEN the coverage has acres reported with the Downed Endorsement Coverage (DC), THEN the DC line acres WILL NOT be included in the Crop Summary for the Coverage's Total Acres.
• If there are Prevented Planting (PP) acres for the coverage, "PP = " will print followed by the total PP acres in parentheses below the Total Acres insurable acres.

It was found that the Policy Declaration page was not printing all of the Options for coverages. With this ticket, the width of the column was widened so there is more room for Options to print. These changes apply for all years.

There are five formats of the Policy Declaration Page (see below). The format that prints is based on the crop.

• Pasture, Rangeland, Forage (PRF) / Apiculture (API)
• Whole-Farm Revenue Protection (WFRP)
• Nursery
• Annual Forage
• All Other Crops (this format will print for all crops except for Nursery, PRF / API, Annual Forage, and WFRP)

Beginning in the 2018 RY, RMA added a new procedure that allows growers to elect to exclude acreage damaged by an unavoidable uninsured fire (UUF) or a third party from their APH databases. To qualify for this procedure, the Acreage Report must be modified to indicate the UUF / Third Party Damage procedures apply for the acreage.

NOTE: The requirement to modify the Acreage Report was waived for 2017 acreage.

In the following RY, acreage previously reported as UUF / Third Party Damage is excluded from the APH database. If part of the acreage was damaged by UUF or a third party but additional undamaged production/acres exist, the undamaged production/acreage only will be included in the APH database identified by the new "FA" Yield Type.

For forms that display the APH database, requests were received that the TA yield be displayed when it was being used with the FA yield type. When FA is displayed in the Description column, the Annual TA Yield value will now print in parentheses after it (e.g., FA (181.0)).

When BFR functionality was originally implemented, the procedures indicated the "BF" Yield Type would be used to identify history transferred to a Beginning Farmer Rancher (BFR) and would need to be removed from the APH. Requests were received for forms that show the APH database to display the TA yield when it is being used with the BF Yield Type. When BF is displayed in the Description column, the Annual TA Yield value will now print in parentheses after it (e.g., BF (249.0)).

These changes apply to the following forms:

• APH Database Form
• APH Database and Acreage Reporting Form
• Production Report
• Production Report / Acreage Report

It was found during UAT for TFS #97611 in the 7.095 release that the four asterisks were not removed from the FSA Farm label on the Raisin and Acreage Report. This ticket removed the four asterisks.

DESCRIPTION ID #

On 2/19/19, AIPs reported agents were locked out from processing Dairy Revenue premium following the President's Day holiday. Prices released on 2/15/19 should have allowed for processing through 9 a.m. on 2/19/19 because the President's Day holiday is in the ICE table. The only work around was applying the lockout bypass to a user role. This should not have been required because the ICE table reference of 2/19/19 as the business processing end time should have been accounted for. An issue was found with the date that was being used to check against the list of holidays in the ADMs. The date was not being updated correctly when the lockout was pushed due to the lockout date being a weekend day. Logic has been updated to fix this issue.

Mapping

DESCRIPTION ID #

It was found that the white Halo outline on printed map labels were very hard to read, especially when the labels were crowded together. A Print Halo checkbox was added to the Grower Information section of the Layers panel to allow the user to indicate if they want to have Halo Effects turned on or off for printing.

Map Books: Two new additional record keeping sheet options have been added for Map Book printing. These two new options were added:

• Field Mgmt Book: This is similar to the record sheet but excludes harvested data.
• Harvested Production Sheet: This is a separate sheet just for tracking harvest records; it includes more room to record multiple loads for the mapped area.

Map Books: Users can now print Map Books from the Batch Printing tool (Tools > Batch Printing). In this tool, Map Books are titled as Map Booklets.

MPCI

DESCRIPTION ID #

Attachments: In Q4 2018, functionality was added that allows a user to choose to attach a document to other policies with the same grower OID/RY. To do this, when adding an attachment from within a policy, a checkbox is available at the bottom of the Attachment popup that, when selected, prompts the System to display other related policies for the grower to prevent re-work when an attachment is applicable to more than one policy.

In the last couple of releases, the Private Products team adopted the MPCI Attachment format, allowing users to attach multiple attachments at one time and leverage the "related policy" functionality. Code was also introduced to allow the related policies to pull in related Private Product policies to the list for selection. After implementation in the 7.090 release, the Help Desk received a report that a user could select a related MPCI policy on a Private Product policy Attachments tab but the user could NOT select the related Private Product policy on the MPCI policy Attachments tab. The scope of this ticket was to make the final adjustment so that all policies (MPCI and Private Products) display as related coverages regardless of what policy Attachments tab the Attachment popup is triggered from (MPCI or Private products).
